Answer 1

We want to determine if the events are overlapping or non-overlapping.

Drawing either a red two or a red eight on one draw from a regular deck of cards.

In playing cards, the red two and red eight are separate cards.

Thus it is NOT possible to have both happening on the same card.

Thus, The individual events are​ non-overlapping. The probability of the combined event is

the sum of the individual probabilities.
